Top 10 Fun Activities & Games in Downtown Indianapolis, Indiana (IN)
High-speed, history and good old Hoosier hospitality are a few reasons to put Indianapolis on your list of great getaways. Sports is another. From the legendary Indianapolis 500 to the Pacers and the Colts, the city offers ample opportunities to view professional and amateur sporting events, take part in athletic events and visit sports museums. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Hall Of Fame Museum you can tour the famous track (try to reserve tickets if there is a race in town) or visit the museum dedicated to automobiles and auto racing. Other sporty museums include the NCAA Hall of Champions. To get in on some of the action, head to SportZone which features six acres of indoor athletic facilities the whole family will enjoy. Those less interested in sports, or with kids in tow, can still find tons to do in and around the city. History, art and other cultural attractions abound. Visit the Children's Museum or checkout the zoo. Stroll along cobblestone streets past 19th-century buildings in the Lockerbie Square District or visit any number of historic landmarks. Known as the "Crossroads of America," more interstate highways bisect Indianapolis than any other city in the country, making it an exciting and easily accessible destination.

My fiancé and I came here for Valentine’s Day. Tickets were pretty cheap so we figured why not give it a try. The show seemed to consist of 20 something year olds who had a range of different types of humors. It was really well put together and really funny! We were engaged the whole time and laughing a bunch. The had some audience participation which was a lot of fun. Drinks and food were very cheap. Not the best food or drinks but you get what you pay for, right? Overall, we would definitely go back again and they are for sure worth checking out!
